I wonder if that’s even possible. He displays the signs of a narcissistic sociopath, most frequently grandiosity, lack of empathy and utter lack of accountability. Those are hard-coded personality traits.

His high-visibility tactics are meant to influence people...or put another way, to manipulate. A father who has been wrongly accused would fight through his lawyers in court. What he is doing is grandstanding - big, splashy, look how awesome I am efforts.

Do you recall Brock Turner? Discovered literally in the act of raping an unconscious woman - and only had to serve 3 months of a 6 month sentence. Victims’ trauma lasts for years. Sciorra was raped in her own home and lived in fear since. The current New Yorker article is insightful as to why victims don’t step…

Personally I like his story of his ‘friend’ who was all for abortion, until he was presented with a late-life pregnancy and eventually changed his mind. What a horrible way to tell your son “you were truly wanted”

These men are not sex addicts, they are abusers, harassers, predators - very different from an addict engaging in consensual affairs and random hookups. The abuser’s actions come from a lack of empathy and compassion, with a need for dominance. It’s their attitude of entitlement and “grandiose sense of self-worth”…

The interesting part of that pic is Portia de Rossi, like she’s the Barbara Bush to Ellen’s variation on HW’s ‘jokes’

That statement merely says he is not a sadist “would never...intentionally” - which I guess in the groper world is a distinction versus those who get off on making people squirm

He apparently told a dirty joke as well - the ‘apology’ conveniently addresses only that aspect directly 

I’ve always been surprised at the high-profile gigs he has continued to get, and the celebs who stand by him. I’ve read of assistants being present during his assaults, and this woman was actively procuring victims for him - somehow I’d missed hearing of that before. WHY hasn’t this team predation been major news??…

I think Trump unintentionally contributed to the social climate that has prompted victims to come forward, and other women to be vocal in their support. His treatment of his accusers, his enablers’ spin/outright lies, the hatred and attacks of his base - it all has sparked something in the collective conscience. That…

This account is incredibly disturbing (includes creepy complicit assistant!) but I guess it was only 2014, and we were a naive, hopeful people so there was no public outcry like with Weinstein

Damon managed to put himself in a ‘poor me’ victim position in a story about multiple women who were assaulted by Weinstein. It takes a special lack of empathy and a high degree of self absorption to be able to insert yourself into a situation that has nothing to do with you. And to be a victim where there are…

Rapists rape for control, dominance, not because they found someone attractive and inappropriately acted on impulses and urges. Clothing and modesty have nothing to do with it. Sexual attraction has nothing to do with it. It is about control.

I agree. There have been enough brow-clutching moments from Kelly during various speeches that I think it was a huge dig. Also that wording just does not make sense, if he were complaining about the Khan family’s criticism of Trump; that wouldn’t make them less “sacred”, but being attacked and disrespected by a…

As a narcissistic sociopath he is already suffering significantly just from this week. He has lost his job; he has lost not only personal status but professional status - which for these hollow miscreants is usually the ONLY thing they have going for them and it fills their empty souls; he is no longer pulling the…

The teaser ends with a woman telling Louis C.K., “I mean, everyone’s a pervert. I’m a pervert. We’re all perverts. Who cares?”

Even without voiced threats, the first part of the story is sexual harassment. Both the highly presumptive not wanting to date anyone younger than his daughter, and the invitation to his hotel room, count as “unwelcome advances”. That she was his subordinate adds another layer where threats don’t even need to be…

Too often people who personally know an abuser/predator prefer to believe the excuses/justification - rather than face the fact they’ve socialized/supported/worked with a heinous individual. This includes people who’ve been victims of another abuser themselves. I would expect the trauma from their own abuse would make…

Miley surprised me on The Voice. She is engaged in helping young artists and knowledgeable musically...better than Shelton at things i’d expect him to know. I find her more effective and definitely more enjoyable than Gwen.

Every time I see whatever that is masquerading as a smile I am both disturbed and enraged. His face looks like it’s cringing with the unfamiliar grimace. And the trust-me veneers.
